Headlines Read Out- Magazine Cover Design

For this project, we analyzed real magazine cover layouts and got all the necessary measurements to create mockups for our own versions of their cover art. After that, we did our own photography and design work to shoot photos and design our own cover story. My magazine is People and I wanted to create a high class fashion look through my studio photo shoot with Blue and in my design choices!

Personal Logo Designs

For this project, we created logos and banners to advertise our own media work with marketing-ready graphics! These were some of the designs I created that reflect my brand and my style as an artist when I do livestreams and visual artwork under the moniker Noitac!

Three Sides Is All You Need- Triangle Design Challenge

For this project, we were challenged to create any type of creative art design that utilized triangles as a foundational element and to share our product in only one day! As a class challenge, we got feedback on these from our advisory board to showcase our skills working within a prompt. For my design, I created an abstract triangle pattern that became a mask pattern, through which I re-envisioned one of my original photographs set against a solid wood backdrop.

Goldetron Photographer Logo Concepts

For this project, we worked with a Boston-based photographer named Goldetron to help him develop a logo to define his visual identity. He shoots fine art photography including fashion, modeling, and landscapes, so we worked to develop graphics to showcase his style and brand! Check out his photography at https://www.goldetron.com/

Chicks In Bowls- Women's Roller Skating Club Graphics

For this project, we were hired by the Vermont chapter of Chicks In Bowls to design graphics for their organization that promotes quad roller skating and skateboarding for the female, trans, and non-binary community. We worked to make designs they could use on social media, t-shirts, stickers, and more to promote their brand and showcase the awesome activities they inspire!

Griefcase Band Logo and Branding Work

For this project, we worked with a new Vermont band called “Griefcase.” They hired our class to make logo designs for their debut album and for t-shirts that they are printing out, so these were some of the designs I submitted. Since their musical influences were 1990’s and 2000’s rock bands, I did some research into the genre and made logos to match the feel of their alternative rock sound!

Hit the Slopes- Snowboard Designs

For this project, we designed custom artwork to be placed on snowboards in honor of Vermont legend Jake Burton Carpenter. We showcased our design on mockups to showcase the 3D texture of the boards when printed out, and also used Photoshop to place our designs on snowboard action shots to see our work in action. I made a bunch of boards with cool abstract designs!

Spectrums of LIght- Color wheel design

For this project, we learned how to design a standard 5-color scheme palette that showcases a hex code, using Adobe Color. My color scheme is based on a beautiful tree; it began as a watercolor painting I made using the primary and secondary colors, but after scanning it into Photoshop, I used the new Sky Replacement tool and some other manipulation techniques to make this fusion of handmade and digital art.

Healthy Graphics- Medical Professions Infographic

For this project, we worked with students in the Medical Professions program to design infographics that will be hung up at the Central Vermont Hospital! My poster is about Vitamins, giving some general information and benefits of taking them. My Medical Professions partner sent the text and some basic design concepts, and from there, I made this design with custom graphics and a layout to advertise this medical issue!

S.E.A. Program Logo and Branding Work

For this project, we worked with a new program at our partner school called Spaulding Educational Alternatives. We used input they provided on a design brief to offer some logo and graphic ideas that they can use when they open their new school campus. We are waiting to see which design they will pick to use on t-shirts, letterheads, stickers, their website, and more!

Line It Up- Typography Alignment Design

For this project, we learned about typography practices like kerning, tracking, leading, paragraph alignments, justification, and font families to make typography art. For my design, I made text art of some of my favorite quotes featuring my original photography as a backdrop.

Build An Identity- Business Branding Design

For this project, we each got a fake business based on a real local business that we were tasked to make designs for. My business was Rise and Shine, a bakery opened in 1984 who was hoping to rebrand to freshen up their image. To approach this project as a graphic designer, I analyzed my business by reading quotes and goals of theirs in a creative brief and then designed a 5-color scheme palette, collection of logo mockups, and a demonstration half-page advertisement to showcase how the business could make use of the visual brand I envisioned for them!

Get Hyped- MNDFL Drink Design

For this one-day class challenge, we competed to make the most interesting and most eye-appealing can/package design for a product called MNDFL (like “mindful”), a fictional energy drink that offered a healthier, earth-conscious, and more sustainable product than other more “macho” energy drinks. After making several logo thumbnails, I chose my favorite design to make this mockup of how my branding would look on an actual product can with a cool advertising-ready backdrop.

The Big Show- Event Poster Design

For this project, we designed an event poster for a show with a band or performer that we would love to go see! To do this, we had to create original assets and could only choose to use the artist’s logo or masked/manipulated photo if we wanted. I decided to make a poster for an actual show happening in September that I would love to go to-- Aerosmith in Boston! I masked the photo, elevated their logo, and designed a simple yet eye-catching layout for this.

Color palette design

For this project, we learned how to design a standard 5-color scheme palette that showcases a hex code, using Adobe Color. My color scheme was created by analyzing a sunset landscape photo I had shot and seeks to capture nature's hues in a usable way.

Driven to Design- Car Drawing

For this project, we showed greater mastery of the Pen Tool to make a digital drawing graphic of a vehicle. I made my vector digital drawing of a sports car!

Cartoonize Yourself- Intro to pen tool

This was our first time using the pen tool in Adobe Illustrator to make custom shapes. Using portrait photos as guides, we made cartoon versions of ourselves! We also printed these out as stickers.

Build Your Dream House- Intro to Illustrator

This was our first ever graphic design project! For this design, we explored basic shapes in Adobe Illustrator to make a house with a for sign sale.
